What is the DesignLights Consortium?
The DesignLights consortium is a private collaboration of utility companies and energy efficiency organisations throughout the U.S. The DesignLights Consortium’s Qualified Products List (QPL) provides Consortium members with guidance about solid-state lighting products used in commercial applications which are sufficiently energy efficient to reduce energy consumption and save energy.
Based on specific requests from customers and suppliers, Consortium members can refer to the QPL, and can confidently offer rebates and other financial incentives for the use of listed products.
TÜV SÜD meets all the requirements for testing laboratories that can be used by LED manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for DesignLights QPL listing.

Why the DesignLights Consortium Qualified Products List is important
The DesignLights Consortium QPL currently lists nearly 20,000 commercial grade LEDs and luminaires from more than 250 different manufacturers. Listing on the QPL gives LED manufacturers an important marketplace advantage. This is because electrical utilities and other Consortium members reference the QPL when developing or expanding rebate programs and other incentives designed to accelerate the transition to more energy efficient lighting. These factors make listing on the QPL a de facto requirement for manufacturers competing in the commercial lighting market.
How TÜV SÜD can help you with the DesignLights Consortium Qualified Products List
TÜV SÜD is an approved testing laboratory under the U.S. Department of Energy’s LED Lighting Facts programme. We were also a recognised Testing Laboratory and Certification Body under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR programme which became obsolete, but we are still able to support in all kinds of high quality energy efficiency testing. We are also a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) under the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
We offer a comprehensive suite of testing, certification and advisory services on the regulations, standards and voluntary energy efficiency and performance programs for LEDs and all types of lighting products.
Our technical experts can also assist in product design and development, quality testing, environmental certification and transport monitoring. They can also provide customised services in support of global supply chain activities.
